Thanks stuartgc, let me know how it goes. Any chance you'd be able to capture a screenshot or vid/fraps of what you're seeing?

Bummer pravo. Just to be clear: the game is crashing at startup, right? Are you able to play the game at all? If you launch the game without sound as per the instructions in the FAQ, can you actually play the game? If so, then we know the trouble is with OpenAL.

Thanks,

@ TheBladeRonen: if you launch the game with the nosound option (as per the Osmos FAQ), do you have any luck? @ almo: Can you please describe in greater detail what you're seeing?

Glad to hear you're digging the game Nacery! Yeah, the FortuneCity font should already contain the characters we need to localise the game to most Western languages. One special tip for you about the 'j' character: the kerning for that character is a bit broken in the font, so if you're playing with...

Looks like y'all are having trouble with OpenAL. Try downloading the latest OpenAL installer from CreativeLabs here (the file is called oalinst.zip).

Thanks for your post Klaste. So when you run in windowed mode, you can't see anything at all, only a grey screen? When Osmos is running in fullscreen, it should use whatever refresh rate you've set in your display settings. Can you try playing with your display settings (refresh rate, etc), then res...
